Brookdale Prospect Heights was very nice, but they didn't have what I needed. The staff was very professional, nice, and upfront. The dining area was nice, and they had a weight room.

Brookdale Prospect Heights was a very nice community. The individuals there were much older than my husband. Aside from that, it was fine and there were no issues. The rooms were fine and on the cold side, borderline hospital-like, but they were efficient. The common rooms were empty, and nobody was in there. The place was clean and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant, upbeat, kind, and considerate toward the residents and visitors.

Brookdale Prospect Heights is relatively small and more family-like. When I went there, they were doing some remodelling and had one whole room being remodelled. There wasn’t a lot of large common area, so people were pretty close and had to get along, I think, because they were cozy. The staff seemed very positive. I did see an exercise class, and the person giving it was very energetic. I only saw the main common area because there’s a living room that is not very spacious. It seemed very clean, nothing smelled, and everything looked very well kept. It seemed pretty close knit, and I don’t think my husband would have liked it because he doesn’t like to be around people. When they give a tour, it would be good to see more of the facility, like the dining room, the community room, and the rest of the common areas.

Brookdale is OK. They were doing some improvements to make it cheery inside, but it didn’t seem engaging for the residents. They were all sitting around watching TV. The common areas and apartments were small and kind of rundown, and it was kind of dreary.

Brookdale Prospect Heights is average or below average because the care was not as good. The food was very bad according to me and my mother. They always served chicken, and nothing was that much different. The place was clean overall. It seems that the personnel are always preoccupied with some other things. There are not enough people on the staff to take care of people that lived there. It would benefit them to hire more people. But the cost, I give a 5 since it is comparatively lot less expensive. They are the most affordable. The apartment is not as spacious and is small compared to other facilities. My mother doesn't have enough income and doesn't qualify for Medicaid, so I have to supplement it.

My dad went over from the hospital to Emeritus for rehabilitation, and they were actually very good. We were very happy with them. The food was fine when he was in the rehabilitation. He was in hospital room like setting with a bed. The community was excellent. It was very good.

Emeritus is good but again, I was looking for something just a little closer and I think it is in care level 1. The thing is, he is just not interested in their activities because they’re just not stimulating at all, and I just think probably, mentally, my dad is in better shape than a lot of people there, although he is frail physically. He likes the food, the staff and the nursing.

Emeritus at Prospect Height was nice. It was not rundown and there were nice amenities -- it was kept up nicely. The facility is smaller, but nicer. The furniture and carpeting is nice and the building is well-maintained.

The staff at Emeritus at Prospect Heights seemed very caring. The woman that showed us around was very nice. The room seemed nice as well. They have an activity room, but when we walk in there was all wheelchairs in the lobby or reception area and they were all watching TV.

I found Emeritus very favorable. It was in a very accessible location. The ground was small, but it was a nice facility. It was furnished and well taken care of. The staff and the administration were very nice. I liked the rooms. The dining room seemed okay. What I didn't like was that they only have one activity director for thirty or forty residents in the activity room and very few of the residents were engaged. I thought it would be better if they had more staff so that more people will be engaged in the activities.

I was given a tour at Emeritus and the facility and rooms looked very clean. They have regular sized studios but the price is too expensive. The person who gave us the tour was very friendly to us and to the residents.

My mom is at Emeritus at Prospect Heights and I got really no complaints about them. The staff are very friendly and attentive. She has a little studio apartment and she is totally fine there. The location is also very close to our house. I would recommend the place.

Emeritus is very nice, it's closer to my home. The rooms are spacious enough and the services are good enough. The help is very attentive. I just can't afford the place.

My mom stayed at Emeritus last year in 2012, and again this year 2013, and we all had great experiences both times. The staff are remarkable and helped my mom so much, and were nice, patient and very kind. All the staff were also very friendly and nice to our family as we visited my mom. This facility is clean, and a good atmosphere, and we would reccomend it to anybody. We would definately come to Emeritus of Prospect Heights again in the future if we ever needed their services. Thank you again to all the staff, for being so wonderful, kind and helpful. You are all good people.

This facility looks wonderful. It is clean,attractive,and designed for comfort. When I first visited it was a Brighton Gardens facility. Nothing changed outwardly when Emeritus came in, and there were some hopes that the dining facilities would improve. However, there were some huge changes in staffing. My mother was living there at the time,and the changes were apparent to all.
Staff who had been friendly, outgoing, and patient were sometimes replaced by a much different group. it became difficult to communicate with some staff, either because of attitude or language barriers. the food did not improve, it actually got worse. the welcoming atmosphere disappeared,especially at the front desk.
My advice to anyone involved in searching for assisted living is to ask more questions until you get the info you need. Make sure the company who currently owns the facility will continue to own it for at least a year,so that do you or your loved one are not taken by surprise, as we were, about changes in policy, fees, or staff that will be disruptive. We felt deceived by Brighton Gardens, and not at all positive about Emeritus.
